Exodus 23

1  Thou shalt not take up a false report: put not thy hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.

2  Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to turn aside after a multitude to wrest `justice':

3  Neither shalt thou favor a poor man in his cause.

4  If thou meet thine enemy's ox or his ass going astray, thou shalt surely bring it back to him again.

5  If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lying under his burden, thou shalt forbear to leave him, thou shalt surely release `it' with him.

6  Thou shalt not wrest the justice `due' to thy poor in his cause.

7  Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked.

8  And thou shalt take no bribe: for a bribe blindeth them that have sight, and perverteth the words of the righteous.

9  And a sojourner shalt thou not oppress: for ye know the heart of a sojourner, seeing ye were sojourners in the land of Egypt.

10  And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shalt gather in the increase thereof:
